</TABLE>
 
    NET SALES.  Net sales increased 25% to $7,045,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 from $5,628,000 for the same period in 1996 and increased 27% to
$13,825,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $10,890,000 for the
comparable six months of 1996. These increases were primarily due to shipments
of new flavor products to a significant customer and the benefits derived from
the integration of the sales and marketing activities of the Company's Seafla
Division acquired in December 1995.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 40.5%
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 41.3% during last year's
comparable quarter, due principally to a change in product mix. The gross profit
percentage of 39.8% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 was comparable
to the gross profit percentage of 39.6% reported during last year's six month
period.
 
    SELLING EXPENSES.  Selling expenses increased to $882,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $748,000 for the comparable 1996 period and
increased to $1,717,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $1,457,000
for the comparable 1996 period. These increases were due principally to the
hiring of additional sales personnel and expanded sales support and increased
sales commissions on higher volume sales. Selling expenses, as a percentage of
sales, decreased to 12.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 13.3%
for last year's comparable quarter and decreased to 12.4% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 from 13.4% for last year's comparable six month period as a
result of increased sales.
 
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
decreased to $654,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $680,000 for
the same quarter in 1996 and decreased to $1,273,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $1,365,000 for the six month period in 1996. These decreases
were primarily as a result of the cost reduction program implemented during the
latter part of the fourth quarter of 1996. General and administrative expenses,
as a percentage of sales, decreased to 9.3% for the three months ended June 30,
1997 from 12.1% for last year's comparable quarter and decreased to 9.2% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 from 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
as a result of cost reductions and increased sales volume.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
increased to $487,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $382,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and increased to $960,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from $781,000 for the six month period in 1996 due to
expanded research and development projects and the hiring of additional
technical personnel.
 
    AMORTIZATION EXPENSE.  Amortization expense increased to $224,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $181,000 for the second quarter
of 1996 and increased to $445,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from
$357,000 for the comparable six month period in 1996. The increases were due
principally to the amortization of deferred charges associated with the
Company's $1.5 million convertible debt financing consummated in October 1996.
 
    INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Interest expense increased to $188,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $149,000 for the comparable 1996 period and
increased to $359,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $279,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. These increases were primarily due to the
additional long-term debt incurred by the Company in October 1996 in connection
with the $1.5 million convertible debt financing. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
 
    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  Provision for income taxes represents state
franchise taxes. No federal income tax provision for the six months ended June
30, 1997 was provided due to the Company's availability of net operating loss
carryforwards.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    Cash flow generated from net income and non-cash charges, principally
depreciation and amortization, totalling $1,350,000 was utilized to support the
growth in receivables of $1,109,000 and inventories of $505,000. Working capital
at June 30, 1997 was $5,550,000 as compared to $4,020,000 at December 31, 1996.
The increase in working capital of $1,530,000 was principally attributable to
the growth in accounts receivables and inventories. During the second quarter of
1997, the Company paid down its revolving credit facility principally through
excess cash flow.
 
    Historically, the Company's financing needs have been met through the
issuances of equity and debt securities. For several years prior to 1996, the
Company's principal line of credit for working capital requirements was a $2.0
million short-term revolving note, which the Company extended upon maturity.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bore interest at the rate of
one-half percent above the prime rate.
 
    In October 1996, the Company consolidated a $3,500,000 term loan (obtained
in connection with the December 1995 acquisition of the assets of Seafla, Inc.
(currently the Seafla Division)) and its $2,000,000 revolving credit into a
$5,500,000 revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Borrowings under
this Credit Facility bear interest at 1 1/4% above the lender's prime rate and
mature on January 15, 1999. At June 30, 1997, the borrowings under the Credit
Facility accrued interest at the rate of 9 3/4% per annum. The borrowings are
secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company. At June 30 ,
1997, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of
$4,925,000 and $450,000 available for borrowing against its borrowing base. In
April 1997, the Company and the lender under the Credit Facility entered into a
waiver and modification agreement (the "Waiver") which waived compliance by the
Company with certain covenants for 1996 and amended one of such covenants for
1997. Additional events of default were also added to the Credit Facility. In
connection with the Waiver, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.40 per share.
 
    In October 1996, the Company also consummated a financing which provided for
the issuance of $1,500,000 principal amount of 9% Convertible Subordinated Notes
due October 17, 1998 (the "Convertible Notes") and the issuance of Class A
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.40 per
share and Class B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 156,250 shares of Common
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
Stock at $2.70 per share. The Convertible Notes are secured by liens on
substantially all of the assets of the Company, which liens are junior to those
in favor of the Company's lender under the Credit Facility.
 
    The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the
option of the Company at any time on or prior to October 16, 1997 at a
conversion price equal to the average market price of the Common Stock for the
ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the "average market
price"). From October 17, 1997 to maturity on October 16, 1998, the Convertible
Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holders
at a conversion price equal to the greater of the average market price or $1.50
per share (subject to adjustments under certain circumstances).
 
    Pursuant to the Waiver, the Company is required to exercise its option to
convert the Convertible Notes into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of
the financing agreement related to the Convertible Notes prior to October 17,
1997. The exact number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all
of the Convertible Notes cannot currently be determined but, generally, such
issuances of Common Stock will vary inversely with the market price of the
Common Stock. On July 17, 1997, the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board was US $1.78 per share. If the closing bid price of
the Common Stock on July 17, 1997 were used to determine the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company
would be obligated to issue a total of approximately 843,000 shares of Common
Stock, assuming all such notes were converted at such time. To the extent the
"average market price" per share of the Common Stock is lower or higher than
$1.78 per share, the Company would issue more or less shares of Common Stock
than reflected in such estimate and such difference could be material.
